Donor Supported Graduate Awards

DEFINITION:an
award is granted on a competitive basis for a combination of academic
achievement and participation in extra-curricular activities such as
volunteer work or involvement in campus sports or clubs; awards always
require the submission of an application form; recipients of awards must
always demonstrate financial need. An endowed (see note below) award is
granted from investment income generated by the original gift to the
university. An annual award is paid directly by the donor on an annual
basis. The university may allot awards by faculty. The university
reserves the right not to grant a specific award if no eligible
applicants are identified. Any stated value of awards which are quoted
on this website are subject to change. Awards offered by the university
are tenable only at Laurier.

For the 2015/2016 academic year, applications will be available online on LORIS as of late August 2015. By submitting the applicable online student profile(s) which are available on LORIS, students will automatically be considered for all competitive scholarship/award, and donor supported bursary opportunities which are supported by donors.

The application deadline for the General Student profile for all students is end of September, 2015. If applicable, students who complete the General Student profile may also receive a Faculty Specific profile (applicable to students in MBA or FSW programs). The Faculty Specific profiles will be available on LORIS as of October, 2015. The submission deadline will be end of October, 2015.

It is strongly recommended to check the "mylaurier" email account, as all communication regarding our programs is sent via email.

Important Note on Endowments: Opportunities listed on the Student Awards Web Site that are identified as being "endowed" (see under the Description of each opportunity) are financed by investment income generated by gifts to the university. The university will grant up to a maximum of 4 percent of the value of these endowments, depending upon the amount of interest income generated on an annual basis. Consequently, these opportunities may or may not be available during any particular academic year due to the nature of financial markets. Any values which may be quoted for these opportunities on this web site represent the maximum amounts that may be available, not the actual amounts that will ultimately be granted.
